Talent Identification ORNCA Technical Directors must recommend a player for identification purposes Technical Pathway technical staff will determine the best way to see the players recommended (in ORNCA competition or attending a Talent on Location Day) TP • Provincial Talent Development Objective To support the individual growth of both talented players and coaches Talent Development Centre – (TDC) Identified talented players receive an invite to attend the Talent Development Centre nearest to their residency for their development session There are (4) Talent Development Centre locations across Ontario per event Talent Development Centre events are scheduled (4) times per season Invites to Talent Development Centre events are on a per-event basis Each Talent Development Centre is facilitated by an OSA Talented Pathway staff member who is supported by OPDL Head Coaches in operating the TDC Objective of the Talent Development Centre is the development of technical habits that are coach-driven and player-centred as well as specific tactical emphasis in line with the OPDL “Performance Triangle” (Mindset, Skillset and Structure) OPDL Head Coaches receive support from OSA Talented Pathway staff with regards to personal and professional development The Talent Development Centre also provides an opportunity for players to be identified for the “CSA Talent Excel Pathway” in the form of CSA projects and camps for the boys and the Regional Excel Centre (REX) for girls TP National Talent Development Objective To provide elite male players with the opportunity to excel their development in professional academies and national projects Male Elite Player Development Male elite player development is delivered through CSA projects and camps Elite players are identified within professional academies and outside of professional environments, in particular the OPDL (centralized competition) TP National Talent Development Objective To provide elite female players with the opportunity to excel their development in the national centre (REX) Female Elite Player Development Elite players are being identified by OSA Talented Pathway staff within the OPDL (centralized competition) and Talent Development Centre events Identified players move into the Regional Excel Centre (REX) fulltime Elite players within the Regional Excel Centre have the opportunity to be selected for the National Excel Events (NEX/Camps) through the Canadian Soccer Association The entry point for REX players is January of each year from 2015 onward The exit point for REX players is November of each year from 2014 onward The Regional Excel Centre is a Canadian Soccer Association license-based program, operated by the OSA according to a Canadian Soccer Association development curriculum. The program includes approximately (40) female players in total from across Ontario, selected from the U14 – U18 age groups The time commitment for REX players is (5) times per week (4 training sessions and one weekly competition) for a total of 45 weeks per year TP Talented Pathway How do talented players enter the Talented Pathway? Talented players attend open tryouts in November at one of the OPDL organizations. Players receive at least (3) tryout sessions before a decision is being made if the player is being offered a spot on an OPDL roster. If a player is not able to secure a roster spot on the particular OPDL roster, the player is able to tryout for another OPDL organization, however, the travel distance to and from training sessions should be as limited as possible for effective participation in this high-performance development program. How will talented players be identified for Talent Development Centre events? The benefit of the OPDL as a high-performance player development program is the ability for OSA Talented Pathway staff to continuously scout and identify talented players that have the potential to develop to the next level of play throughout the year. Each identified talented player will receive an invite to one or more of the Talent Development Centre events throughout the season. However, invites to Talent Development Centre events are directly linked to the 4-cornered development of each player. Due to the fact that individual players develop at different rates and stages, and being mindful of the fact that a player’s development can be influenced by many factors, invites to Talent Development Centre events are single-event based. How can a player be identified and supported if there are no OPDL organizations within the regional area? Talented players in areas that are currently not represented by OPDL are able to attend ‘Talent on Location Days’ (ToLD) in centralized locations closer to their residence. Players that are identified by OSA Talented Pathway staff within TOLD events will be invited to take part in Talent Development Centre events where they participate in player development sessions together with OPDL registered talented players (Best with Best). These areas include: Thunder Bay / Mid North (Sault Ste Marie / Sudbury / North Bay) / Kingston and Windsor. TP How can a player continue to develop and possibly have the opportunity to be identified for the ‘Talent Excel Pathway’ if he/she is not part of the OPDL? Players that are not registered with an OPDL roster are encouraged to move into the OPDL environment for the best development opportunities where access to the OPDL environment is feasible. Players that decide not to become part of OPDL where OPDL opportunities exist, understand that their individual development of reaching their personal best could be reduced without a holistic support system geared towards highperformance build around the athlete. Players that have no access to OPDL organizations due to geography and that have been identified through OSA Talented Pathway staff will receive a personal development plan that is shared with the respective Club Head Coach or Technical Director. The individual development plan focuses on technical habit development in line with Talent Development Centre activities to ensure that players in areas without OPDL representation continue to have the opportunity to reach the ‘Talent Excel Pathway’. In addition, the respective club coach of the talented player will be communicated with by an OSA Talented Pathway staff member, to support the systematic development of the player, in line with the Talented Pathway development curriculum, when back in the club environment. How will players move from the “Talent Perform Pathway” into the “Talent Excel Pathway”? Male players will be identified by National staff (Canadian Soccer Association) through Canadian Soccer Association Projects and Camps. Female players will be identified by OSA Talented Pathway staff within the OPDL, Talent Development Centre events and the Talent Identification Event. TP What is my pathway to play for Canada or professionally if I am an U14 or U15 player and not part of the new Talented Pathway programs? During the transition period over the course of 2014 and 2015, players in these age groups continue their development pathway within the OSA Provincial Program which will be delivered on one weekend per month from January – May. The program nature is project-based and players work with provincial staff on pre-determined weekends in order to be identified for CSA national projects and camps for male players and for the national centre (REX) for female players. What are my chances of playing for Canada? You will drive your destiny, however only a very small percentage of players will progress all the way to national environments (national teams), players within the current and new Talented Pathway are able to reach various high-levels of competition, like NCAA or CIS/OUA environments, within the improved and holistic development pathway. Due to the fact that each individual player develops differently and at their own pace, various forms of high-level play exist, from competing at the university/college level both in Canada and the US, to semi-professional and professional opportunities both domestically and abroad.
